Clifford DeVoe Is The Villain For The Flash Season 4 Is?

After three years of similar speedster villains, it has now being confirmed that The Flash season 4 would see the Fastest Man Alive face off against a different type of opponent and according to TV Line it is going to be Clifford DeVoe AKA The Thinker.

Though it’s an unsubstantiated report, with only unnamed sources referenced, there is a feeling that the site is on the level with this one. The Thinker has already been referenced a couple of times over the last season of the show. In “Abra Kadabra,” the titular villain mentioned that DeVoe will be one of Barry Allen’s greatest enemies. Then, in the season finale, “Finish Line,” Savitar mentions that the STAR Labs gang will come up against DeVoe in the near future.

In the comics, DeVoe is one of The Flash’s oldest enemies, first appearing all the way back in 1943. He was a genius yet twisted inventor who created a device called the “Thinking Cap” which allowed him to project metal blasts. In modern comics, however, the character has been reimagined as an artificial intelligence based off the brain patterns of the now deceased DeVoe. If he is indeed the show’s next big bad, it’ll be interesting to see which version the writers adapt.
